OSH Students Perform Mock Confined Space Entry

October 17, 2016

OSH students received some great hands-on experience performing a
mock confined space entry. OSH professor Derek McCormick partnered
with the City of Grand Rapids to perform a mock confined space entry.
Students conducted air sampling, set up ventilation, and personnel
retrieval equipment to simulate the requirements to safely enter a
confined space.

Carrie Rivette from the City of Grand Rapids explained how city
workers enter confined spaces and their confined space permitting
system. Professor McCormick and Ms. Rivette are exploring additional
ways to provide experiences that will assist in the education of OSH
students such as storm water assessments that will be part of OSH 480
in the winter semester.
